Hypnotik Shawl knitting pattern

Description

A mesmerizing mosaic pattern fans out boldly across the surface of this cozy shawl in two sizes (petite/tall) with wavelike rhythm. Work in a two-color palette for super-defined contrast or mix a solid with a gradient for more subtle, ever-changing effects. Deceptively simple to work, using just one color per row, the garter-based motif is easily memorized and the shaping is simple—this is a great option for a beginning colorwork project and amusing fun for experienced knitters.
